The 'LH objects' are hand tailored out of latex and filled with human hair. Each form is unique, and even the latex material comes from a special production method by the artist. The objects have different shades of beige and brown like the natural coloring of leather. All pieces are hand sewed and in some places you can see the hair sticking out through the seams. With every single hair which has been collected Martin's work reveals it's authenticity and uniqueness. The full aesthetic experience you will just have when you touch the objects. The softness of the filling and the unusual artificial outer skin, makes this experience nonpareil. All the forms could have a purpose and seem like a tool for some secret assignment, which is not to be revealed.
